Sarasota downtown – The Cadillac Grainer Street Band
On any afternoon in downtown Sarasota, you may have a chance to hear a street musician or a band. On Main Street, we encountered The Cadillac Grainer Street Band with a small crowd who already knew their music. Although their lead singer was not there, they played an original song with a bluesy bluegrass flavor as the crowd on the street grew.

The band recently opened at the Blue Owl in Sarasota for local favorite, Igor.
